Synopsis

In an old, empty park, a lonely tortoise gazes at the twinkling stars, believing they are candles held by other animals. Determined to find friends, he embarks on a brave journey across the park, imagining deserts and oceans, to reach a 'rocket' that might take him to the stars. Along the way, he discovers that companionship is closer than he thought, learning the value of courage, kindness, and welcoming strangers.
